"Go to the mattresses" nghĩa là ra trận, tham gia/chuẩn bị cho một cuộc chiến/xung đột kéo dài; sử dụng chiến thuật tàn nhẫn, thâm độc; hành động mất kiểm soát.

“I know what I would say: ‘Can’t you put your pride aside and listen to other people?’” he said. “That’s what leaders do. They take it all in and then make a decision. That’s what Joe Biden is going to do.” Ms. Vadala’s cousin, Mary Grace McHale, was listening from behind a screen door. “Lackawanna County is going to go to the mattresses for Biden,” she said.

Feinstein's remarks quickly transformed Barrett into something of a folk hero among social conservatives (người bảo thủ), who saw the Democratic senator (thượng nghị sĩ) as attacking one of their own. Those same social conservatives would undoubtedly go to the mattresses for a Barrett SCOTUS nomination (bổ nhiệm). Put differently, by nominating Barrett, Trump would be throwing a heap of red meat to his supporters on the religious right. The resulting Senate confirmation hearings would go full-tilt (hết tốc lực) culture war.
